@fishermangonewild trollolol dumbass why dont you actually figure out if there is a problem before u insult someone i guess ur too retarded to figure out how to use a computer.
The movie is not about lester bangs. its not a portrayal, its a characterization. Of course its not gonna be an accurate biographic role of the man, he's just a character in the movie. If the movie were to be about Bangs, then you'd be right.. but , it isnt.
anyone who has read any of lester's work would know that this is a terrible portrayal of Lester Bangs.....this movie makes him out to be a sexless wuss and not the raging sexdrugdrinkrighteousoutrageous animal he actuallywas
@MatthewMarkMendoza amen to that...the problem is also that amazing actors like johnny depp are acting in such sucky pretty boy movies...and he himself acted in the amazing what is eating gilbert grape...michael bay, transformers, robert pattison, twilight, megan fox.....are to bame
how can this movie win for best original screenplay, have two actors nominated, AND NOT EVEN BE NOMINATED FOR BEST MOVIE?!?! what a travesty! people say the dark knight was the reason why there are now ten nomination slots for best picture, because it was snubbed, i think it's because of almost famous!
Thumbs up for the most under appreciated and undersold characters in this movie, hell in all of Hollywood for that matter. I'm pleased to learn he was based on (and named for) a real character Lester Banks (do a Wikipedia search on him). Legends live on.
@25Ragz In the movie Before the devil knows your dead, philip seymour hoffman has an opening scene with Marisa Tomei , that he cannot tell me he's uncool , Only cool people can do that to Marisa Tomei. And the kid got deflowered by 3 girls , thats cool. Doing the laundry for them the next morning , uncool, very uncool.

"The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you are uncool." The best line in the best scene in the best movie in the best of all possible worlds. Absolutely brilliant. And 100% true.
The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with people when you're uncool. True-er words, Lester my man. Iron might be a metal but true steel is having the nerve. ;)

Philip Seymour Hoffman is an amazing actor. He's such a chameleon, he's so good in everything he does.

so many of the idiots that dont support that line dont even know what that shit means
let me break it down Cuz was basically Saying hes comfortable(Home) becuz he doesnt care about anyone's standards of how to live but his(uncool)
Cam Crowe is a Genius anybody that doesnt support this line or this scene should kill themselves becuz its not your life your living anyway
